Saarland

Company Profile

The Saarland – a small jewel in the heart of EuropeThe Saarland has a unique location embedded between three countries: To the south-west lies France, its westerly tip touches Luxembourg and to the north-east is Rhineland-Palatinate.

No other German region has undergone such changes of allegiance during the past 200 years – at one time French, later an autonomous region and then again under German rule. However, the historical evidence found in the region takes us back a lot further: The Roman villa in Borg, for instance, an original reconstruction of a Roman estate, is an impressive reminder of the way people lived in Europe during the time of the Romans.

The most recent history of the region, however, the period of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), is almost a thing of the past. The most important example of the Saarland's industrial heritage is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Völklinger Hütte, the world's only remaining ironworks dating from the heyday of the iron and steel industries. Saarland's varied natural landscape is best discovered on foot or by bike, for example by walking the Saar-Hunsrück trail or taking part in a gourmet bike tour.
